OK Tornado Relief Concert…or, the Greatest Day of my Life!

Hey y’all!
I was one of the lucky few people to get tickets to Toby Keith’s Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert! When Garth Brooks was announced as a performer, I KNEW I had to be there!
I tried my best to limit the number of pictures, but it was so hard to narrow them down!
Here we go!
My sweet friend Lori went with me! She loves country music as much as I do, and we had a fabulous time!
GAC’s Storme Warren was our host for the day! Really cool to get to see him!
Mel Tillis-He is an Oklahoman and such a legend in country music, and it was really special to get to see him perform!
Kellie Coffey-She grew up in Moore, Oklahoma, and she lives there now. She was actually at home in her shelter during the terrible tornado.
Bob Stoops, coach of the OU Sooners, is a good friend of Toby’s, and he came out to introduce Garth Brooks!
GARTH! He opened the show with “Rodeo”!
“Two of a Kind, Workin’ on a Full House”
“Papa Loved Mama”
His lovely wife Trisha Yearwood joined him for “In Another’s Eyes”!
Trisha stayed and performed “She’s in Love with the Boy” and “How Do I Live”!
They are so cute :)
He also played “Callin’ Baton Rouge”, “The Thunder Rolls” long version, and “Friends in Low Places” long version!
He closed his set with “The Dance”. It is my favorite song, and I definitely got emotional watching him sing it. It has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to get to see him perform live, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more!
John Anderson
Barry Switzer, former coach of the OU Sooners and Dallas Cowboys, introduced Willie Nelson!
Willie Nelson
Toby joined him to sing “Beer for my Horses”, and he stayed around to sing backup on the rest of Willie’s songs.
Sammy Hagar
Ronnie Dunn
“…peace, love, and country music…”
Carrie Underwood performed via satellite from The Grand Ole Opry!
Wade Hayes-I used to listen to him back in the ’90s, and I had no idea he is from Oklahoma! He performed his song “Old Enough to Know Better”, and it was really cool to get to see him!
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin introduced Toby Keith
Toby!
Toby’s daughter Krystal performed a song from her upcoming album. She’s good, y’all!
Toby put together a fantastic show! I said it before about Blake Shelton, but I’ll say it again now about Toby Keith: I love how much he loves Oklahoma! Toby still lives in Moore and has raised his family there. He said he would never live anywhere other than Oklahoma!
It was such a long day of great music! The concert started at 3pm, and it was close to 11pm when we left. Time passed quickly because the show was so good. It was hot, but it was so worth it!

    The dance is my favorite song of all time too. I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard it, yet I still get chill bumps or misty eyed every time I hear it. #1 on my bucket list is to see him perform, and I am so jealous of you getting to do that!

    I like The Dance, I like FILP long version, but I LOVE The Thunder Rolls Live Version. I also love Trisha! & not that I’m anywhere close to being married, I’m totally having “Daddy Dance with Me” by Krystal Keith as my daddy-daughter dance! What song did she sing?
